The inspection discount on hearth work
Approve the hearth lines within 72 hours of your free inspection, and 10% comes off each of them. Those hours run from your own inspection, which leaves time to read the estimate and weigh any matching options.
If you need longer, perhaps to find a spare tile or decide between a patch and a new surface, the estimate still stands at its written price. We would rather the hearth look and work the way you want than have the decision rushed. Ask us to mark which lines the discount would cover if you are approving only part of the work.
Planning hearth repair around a renovation
If you are redecorating or replacing floors near the fireplace, tell us early. The hearth's size, edge and height all interact with the new finishes around it.
Repairing or extending the hearth before the new floor goes down usually works best. We explain the order and what the hearth will look like at each stage. That avoids cutting into a new floor later, and it keeps the protected area where the fireplace needs it. The written estimate can be phased to fit around the other trades working in the room.
Booking a hearth repair visit
A same-day inspection is available when the schedule allows. If it does not, we set a visit for a time that works for you and explain how to get the hearth ready. Mention the hearth material when you book, so the visit can be planned around it.
If matching tile or stone has to be sourced, we explain the likely wait and schedule the work visit once the material is in hand. You approve the material before it is ordered, and we tell you whether the fireplace can be used meanwhile. A loose edge can often be made safe on the day while the permanent repair is scheduled.
Hearth checks on a maintenance visit
A fireplace maintenance visit looks at the hearth along with the rest of the fireplace. We tap across the surface, check the edges and the joint with the firebox floor, and look for anything laid over the extension.
Small items found early, such as a loose edge tile or a failing grout line, are simpler to put right than a hearth that has moved. If we find something, it is written up as a separate item with its own price, and nothing is done without your approval. Tell us when you book if the hearth is your main concern.

Questions about tile, stone and brick hearths
Do you repair raised hearths as well as flush ones?
Yes. Raised hearths tend to loosen at the edges and corners where people sit and step, while flush ones crack with the floor around them. We check how the top is fixed to the platform and price edge and corner work by section.
Do factory-built fireplaces need a special kind of hearth?
They need the hearth extension their listing calls for. The manual may set an insulating base, metal hearth strips and a sealed joint at the unit. We read the model label and check the hearth against that manual before planning a repair.
Do you handle the flooring around the hearth too?
Only the edge where the hearth meets the floor, when that is named in the scope. Damage further into the room floor is its own item or a job for a flooring installer. The estimate states where our work stops.
